They scuffed it because they had to break it down 6 times to get it to balance out right

Was it the same tire they broke down 6 times?
I would have told them they where not putting that tire on my van.
ALL TIRES come with a road hazard warranty from the factory.
Tire stores just choose to charge you extra for them.
Sales guys will swear they don't.....
Honor among thieves......

Are the tires that keep failing on the same corner of the vehicle?

Just wondering if there might be an external factor to the failures.

It does seem that in today's maximum profit mentality, that manufacturers are relying their on former good reputations and cutting corners wherever they can.

Maximum profit trumps pride in quality these days.

I would expect more out of BFG's. Breaking it down 6 times had to contribute to it.


When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?
